I am a New Yorker living temporarily in New Zealand. New Zealanders' use and abuse of the English language defies description sometimes, but I have fallen in love with the word "eh." It can mean "what?" or "okay" or "doesn't it?" or an indignant "where are you coming from?" It can also mean "n'est ce pas?" There doesn't seem to be just one American counterpart. What do you think, eh?
